This is your chance to get your hands dirty @ dorkbot Chicago and dig into a fresh plate of Chicago style dirty circuit bending! As always, dorkbot Chicago is FREE (as in pizza and beer, and also free as in speech and software)!

WTF:

What is a "dorkbot"?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is "people doing strange things with electricity" and meeting in informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects, creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage science!

Hope you'll join us next Thursday, April 30th at 7PM for the next
installment of Chicago Dorkbot. This time Brian Comnes will take us
on a journey through crunchy tube labyrinths into a fiery halo of
home-made distortion gear. We'll also get a close-up look at some of
the technical and aesthetic differences between analog and digital
distortions, climaxing in an earsplitting A-vs-D cage match.

See you at:

IX has been exhibited previously at the Interactivos? exhibition at the Media Lab Madrid in Madrid, Spain.
